or against or near

“don’t call to people at the street level from there. and don’t hang anything off it like a curtain.”

“what was the room I stayed in? there’s a window in there right? don’t fall out that window.”

Was thinking to leave this dark

The walls won’t let the light

Then she tells me:

There are times you can’t let the light

Not even if you pry

Nor destroy and leave it exposed

 

The plans don’t leave a space

Sometimes it’s been planned

 

Other times when there is a space

Still better that we leave it empty.

old man warns: growth causes disease

like it always, says he

with blotched skin and sadness in creases

can’t remember but

forgot his cane and came back for it

but yes,

i’ve heard if you skin the carrots they will become clean

the color

honest man sounds ugly when he uncovers ugly

or he sounds ugly when he is incomplete, contradictory, disjointed

you say not to end phrases with catches or clever things

among other things

like ending sentences in

as if only dishonesty can ruin him

the nicest person. to me there ever was. wasn’t really nice

shortly we went. our separate ways. no complaint.

and never wished it had been different. our exchange

if we were anything we were for the better. now that after

we were nothing for the worse. for being together.

for being apart.
